Three Little Words, oh what I'd give for that wonderful phrase
To hear those Three Little Words, That's all I'd live
For the rest of my days;
And what I feel in my heart, they tell sincerely,
No other words can tell it half so clearly,
Three Little Words, eight little letters,
Which simply mean "I Love You"!
